1 Week left of the Strange Stories RPG funding campaign. We've raised enough so the book is going ahead and I can't wait to get started on the layout and new illustrations.

Great piece from J. here. Sometimes friction is vital in order to make progress. When AI conveniently removes the friction, it also completely removes any opportunity to learn the intricacies of your craft.

Had a dream last night where the phrase 'all dresser, no drawers' was used to refer to someone who was a bit superficial. I may have made it up but I like it.

Here's the first bit of artwork for STRANGE STORIES the Roleplaying game. As a fan of weird tales, horror, and sci-fi I'm really enjoying coming up with the imagery and style for this project. Lots more to share as we build up to the crowdfunding launch. #weirdtales #horror #gameart #lovecraft

"there’s a difference between using a tool to say something you actually mean, and using a tool to manufacture the appearance of meaning something." - great to-the-point quote from @densediscovery.bsky.social re. the inauthentic ick that comes from outsourcing sincerity to AI.

Last week I was in a sauna in a wooden shack on a fjord in Bergen. Without my specs, the lights from the other side of the fjord made the most incredible bokeh. A really strange optical experience, like a hologram floating in front of my eyes... but of course only I could actually see it that way.

The ruin of Top Withins off in the distance on Haworth Moor. Very quick little sketch in water soluble ink. The summer business has meant painting has taken a backseat but hoping to return to these little sketches.
